arthel: really, he's a hero. eric: i know. sergeant drummond, amazing. arthel: thank you so much. eric: two-finger cpr, and the baby's back home. arthel: back at four eastern, hope you can join us. ♪ ♪ leland: this video from just moments ago, the nypd officer wounded in a shootout overnight was released from the hospital just a few minutes ago s and we are learning new details about the suspected shooter, including that police think he was behind a second attack on officers just hours after shooting in the officer. with that, welcome to "america's news headquarters" from washington, i'm leland vittert. boy, scary times. >> a lot going on in new york where i'm headed back to in just a couple hours. i'm heather childers filling in today in d.c.
10:01 am
new york city's police commissioner saying today that suspect is in custody and that he has a criminal history which includes a shootout with police back in 2002. leland: out on parole. heather: yeah, unreal. everything that we do know so far, what is the latest, alex? >> reporter: heather, police are saying that it really is a miracling that after these two shootings within 12 hours that they're not planning a funeral and, in fact, one of these officers has already left the hospital here behind me. all of this taking place, again, within the last 12 hours from when this first shooting took place. so what we do know at this point, again, is that both of them are expected to recover, just within the last hour the first left the lincoln medical center in a wheelchair wearing a bandage on his neck. he met hundreds of officers waiting outside celebrating his victory. police say this is not the suspect's first offense. he was paroled in 2017 for a
10:02 am
conviction of attempted murder. he also has an upcoming court date for a separate case. again, last night police say a gunman opened fire on two officers sitting in a patrol van. that one officer wounded was released here today. twelve hours after the first shooting, police say the suspect barged in on the headquarters of the 41st precinct. shots rang out this morning as he fired multiple rounds. thankfully, according to police, only one of those bullets hit an officer in the arm. nypd taking that suspect into custody around 8 a.m. but only after the gunman ran out of bullets and put his gun down. >> that's what is most frightening about this. this is not a crime gone bad. this is not a liquor store robbery interrupted that a tragedy erupts from. this is a premeditated assassination attempt. >> there is just too much hatred out there right now. there's too much hatred in general, and there's too much hatred being directed at our
10:03 am
officers, and it has to end. >> reporter: again, one of those officers who was wounded still remains here at the hospital, but doctors say both will recover successfully. the president of the police offers union -- officers union says this is a blatant attack on officers on the street and that everyone needs to rally behind them. again, the suspect is behind bars, and there was also a woman with him behind the -- with him at the time, and she is being questioned. leland: president trump weighed in on this tweeting this morning saying: i grew up in new york city and over many years got to watch how great nyc's finest are. now because of weak leadership at governor and mayor, stand away, water thrown at them -- referring to some attacks that have happened against police -- and regulations, lack of support. our wonderful nyc police are under assault, stop this now. with that, we bring in former d.c. police detective ted
10:04 am
williams. good to see you, slightly better circumstances than the way we normally talk because these two officers are going to be okay. one is out of the hospital. who's right on this? is the mayor right who says i support the police or the president right who says these attacks are happening because of the mayor? >> well, you know, i refuse to get involved in the politics of it, leland, but i can tell you without a doubt that this was an assassination attempt on law enforcement, and it is very, very concerning that these things are happening at this time in our history. when you look at this situation that took place, i remember in 2014 covering the shooting in new york of ramos and liu, two police officers who were killed in their vehicle there in new york. and when you think about what happened last night where someone comes up to a police
10:05 am
car, talks to the police officers and then wound up shooting one of them and then possibly the same suspect going into a precinct about two blocks from where that shooting happened last night and shooting the police lieutenant, that is very, very troubling. leland: this is a whole different idea, as the police commissioner pointed out, than a robbery gone bad. here's something the police commissioner said a couple of weeks ago about the reforms to new york city's bail laws. take a listen. >> i think it's, you know, with the passing of the new law, we saw pretty, pretty, pretty dramatic increase in the people that were let out of rikers in accordance with the law, and that's something that we will deal with. we have seen examples of people getting arrested post-january 1st and then getting rearrested. leland: okay. so we understand what's going on, the police commissioner was talking about a new new york state law that went into effect regarding bail for nonviolent
10:06 am
felons. take a look at what it does. it's curtailing the use of cash bail, reformer eliminates pretrial detention and cash bail for 90% of arrests. so so 90% of people who are arrested get out on their own recognizance. cash bail no longer permitted for most misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies. you agree with the police commissioner that this has serious repercussions? >> well, absolutely. judges now, unfortunately, in new york does not have the discretion that they had at one time when it came to locking up individuals. so as a result of that, a lot of these individuals are out there on the treat. they get out for violent and even nonviolent crime under this new law, this new bail law. leland: what does that mean for police officers in terms of having as the police commissioner pointed out, to arrest people and then rearrest them? these are people who have decided to, shall we say, resign from their life of cyren.
10:07 am
>> it's a hawk, and it's the most dangerous -- a headache and it's the most dangerous thing for a police officer. and it's very discouraging to police officers who go out there and put their lives on the line every day to arrest someone and then to find out a few hours later that this individual is back on the street. leland: real quick on this as we p watch this up, how big of a problem is this nationwide? we've seen what's happening in new york in terms of disrespect for police officers in these continued attacks whether they be the protests on subways where we're saying we don't want police officers on subways and harassing police officers always way through -- all the way through what we're seeing in baltimore, it's too dangerous for me to do my job, and i'm not going to be supported anyway, so, therefore, bad people end up doing bad things with repercussions. >> yeah, but it is -- these arrests, these bail laws are having an effect throughout this country, leland, on law enforcement and the job that they're trying to do. these men and women want to
10:08 am
go -- they want to do the job and then go home to their families, and it's a very sad situation that's taking place in this country at this time. leland: you end up with so many more people back out on the streets. ted williams, as always, thank you. >> my pleasure. heather: much more to come on that as well. an update right now though on the attack on our service members overseas. some new details emerging in the attack that killed two u.s. soldiers and wounded six others in each afghanistan. eastern afghanistan. trey yingst has the latest from our middle eastern bureau. trey, what have we learned? >> reporter: with well, heather, good afternoon. two u.s. soldiers were killed and six others wounded when an individual dressed in an afghan military uniform reportedly opened fire on the group. according to a statement released by u.s. forces in afghanistan, the attack was carried out with a machine gun after the special forces held a meeting with local leadership in the eastern part of the country. while some are reporting this as an insider attack, others are
10:09 am
waiting to make that assessment is since the person who conducted the shooting was not with the forces before this event happened. >> it is a tried and true tactic for the taliban, al-qaeda, isis to use afghan uniforms to try to infiltrate our ranks. and it looks like that's what they did here. but bigger picture, jason, you know, all of these types of conflicts have to come to some type of political resolution. >> reporter: the americans killed come from the u.s. army seventh special forces group and the family members of the deceased are currently being notified. per the department of defense policy, the names of those soldiers will be withheld at least 24 hours. at least one member of the afghan special forces was killed, no group claiming responsibility, but officials aren't ruling out the possibility of an attack by isis. currently, there are more than 13,000 u.s. service members on the ground in afghanistan. this is despite the fact that the taliban actually controls more territory than it did
10:10 am
before the initial american operation there began in 2001. president trump has pledged to start removing americans from afghanistan as negotiations with the taliban continue. heather? heather: we're going to talk more about that right now. thank you so much, trey, we appreciate it. so for more insight on the attack, a national security and foreign policy vice president at the heritage foundation, lieutenant colonel james carafano, it's great to see you in person. in the morning. we talk a lot over satellite. in reference to the latest attack, let's begin there. we have two more u.s. service members killed in afghanistan. we've been talking about getting them out. this is being described as an insider attack at this point. we know that it involved two u.s. army members from the seventh special forces group also known as the green berets. >> here's what's interesting about that, this is quite common. they call it blue on blue, friendly forces, afghan and american forces, allied forces wind up shooting at each other whether it was engineered most
10:11 am
wily by the taliban. we all got push better at dealing with this, adding procedures to limit this kind of stuff. two, the afghan military actually got much, much more professional. we see u.s. uniforms, people running around. and the third one is americans are doing less combat. we're in an advise and support role. we're not fight as much as we used to, and our numbers are much, much smaller. this is actually kind of an anomaly as opposed to business as usual in afghanistan. heather: an anomaly, but at the same time it is still happening. we have two service members dead as a result of it x. apparently from what i understand, and you can explain this a little bit more, the u.s. military is not officially calling it an insider attack because although the suspect did have on an afghan uniform, he was not involved in this direct mission that was taking place. >> and that's, again, something used to be fairly prevalent, get an afghan uniform, show up and people think you're an afghan, but you're really a taliban fighter. the other scenario was you would
10:12 am
get a taliban fighter and get them into the military and have them attack, or you would bribe or somehow get a taliban to do this. so we know about these things, so we do vetting, coordination. they're much, much less prevalent. heather: and we also know in this particular province, in this area, there is a small home of isis fighters, about 500 or so located there. we still don't know at this point who's claiming responsibility. >> yeah. and this is, like, really crucial. why are the taliban at the negotiating table in because they know they cannot win. eye cannot win -- isis cannot win. they are building a future for their country, and the other side can't win. that's why often times we see these incidents engineered because they would like to get us to turn back and leave. that's exactly the wrong message. heather: well, that leads me to my next question because nato considering leaving afghanistan. at the same time we know that president trump has promised to remove our troops from there, and we heard trey yingst talking
10:13 am
about the latest numbers, about 13,000 or so still there. but you think that we should today there. >> well, i think, one, nato will leave when -- we went in together, we'll come out together. this administration's already made a decision, it's going to go to about a little less than 9,000 troops. that's about the right number to sustain advise and assist missions and do counterterrorism. the number that was there when the president was coming into office, and they've already decided those troops will stay there until the taliban have actually proven that the levels of violence have gone down and that the country is stable. so in a sense, the decision's already cooked, the president's already made the right choice. and i, as tragic as incidents like this are, they won't -- heather: our prayers, of course, with all those family members. >> absolutely. heather: finally, there are some successes that we need to talk about in terms of president trump and his campaign, the latest being yet another terrorist successfully killed. >> yeah. these are very, very important. i think not calling it a war on
10:14 am
terrorism anymore makes perfect accept, but they're out there trying to reconstitute that trucker do the kinds of things like they did before, and what you with never want the leadership to have a good night's rest or a safe haven. and the fact that we can continue to go and have the intelligence worldwide to find leaders of significant groups and take them out, that puts a lot of operational train on the other side. and it really keeps them from coming back and organizing the massive kind of attacks like they did on 9/11. heather: and leaders being that keyword. and also it impacts the morale. and we know that social media's spreading and increasing morale is a large way they -- >> and people say, well, that's not going to solve the problem, and they're right, it's not. but it's a key component of keeping the threat under control, and we have to keep doing it. heather: james, thank you so much. great to see you, thank you. leland? ♪ ♪ leland: bernie sanders now leads in the polls in new hampshire. ahead of tuesday's first in the
10:15 am
country primary. fox team coverage from the granite state. pete buttigieg is trying to close the gap with sanders. we've got matt finn with him. we start, however, with mark meredith in hanover, new hampshire, where bernie sanders takes to the stump in just a couple of minutes. hi, mark. >> reporter: hi, leland, good afternoon. that's right, bernie sanders has been holding events all over new hampshire today, there is going to be one here within the next 20 minutes or so, all part of an effort to get out the vote ahead of tuesday's primary. as you mentioned where sanders is in the polls, it is fascinating to watch. these the numbers from the boston globe/sussex university, and you can see sanders does have a slight lead over former south bend mayor pete buttigieg, but it is still a very tight race given what these polls are. sanders won the new hampshire primary back in 2016. of course, though, there has been so much focus on what would happen this time around going to the general electionful bernie sanders has been pushing back against claims by some democrats that he is considered too far
10:16 am
left to win the general election. he also fired back on president trump earlier this morning on "fox news sunday." >> obviously, i am not a communist, and i presume the president knows the difference. maybe he doesn't, i don't know. >> reporter: of course, sanders has been really trying to get out the vote all across new hampshire, but we've had a chance to speak to some of the folks that are on the ground that are here, they live here year round, so they have an idea of where his message is likely to resonate the most, and they say despite him doing so well in 2016, they already have a pretty good idea of where his turnout is going to be on tuesday. >> i would say that bernie sanders is going to do best in the western part of the state, close to vermont. it's also a fairly progressive-liberal part of the tate in towns like keane -- of the state in hanover where dartmouth college is. >> reporter: that's where bernie sanders is going to be any moment now as he speaks. we see them starting to file in, events also later on this
10:17 am
afternoon. a busy day for the sanders campaign. leland: you started with chris wallace on "fox news sunday," mark, we'll check back in, thank you so much. health health for an update on the buttigieg campaign, let's turn to matt finn in dover, new hampshire, where mayor pete will be holding a campaign event in a little less than an hour, right, matt? >> reporter: yep. once again, heather, mayor pete is crisscrossing the state at a hyper speed, and really his message to voters here just i before they head to the primary on tuesday is that he is the cool, calm candidate for president, and he's even obama-esque. he's really trying to insist that he has crossover appeal, that he can one independent votes and even votes from republicans. >> the idea that you've got to be for revolution or status quo leaves most of us out. we need a politics that brings all of us in, because all of
10:18 am
us -- [cheers and applause] >> reporter: in his final push before the primary on tuesday, mayor pete is surging in new hampshire according to two notable polls, a very close second behind bernie sanders. and the gloves are off. joe biden and bernie are repeatedly attacking pete. biden says mayor pete is just a small town mayor. mayor pete has been indirectly responding just joking moments ago on stage responding to joe biden's attacks that he receives a lot of funding from billionaires. mayor pete joked saying when he becomes president, those billionaires are going to become more taxes, and he invites them to share his vision to defeat trump. and once again a jam-packed schedule, he has at least three more events on the agenda today. heather? heather: you're jumping all over the state of new hampshire, and we should say thank you so much. leland? leland: as we said, chris wallace coming up in about 40 minutes.

leland: we're learning a little bit more about a mass shoot anything thailand where a soldier with off duty killed 28 people and wounded 357. officials say the soldier was behind the attack, angry over what they're calling a land dispute. he killed his commanding officer, his mother and then went on a rampage at a mall. police shot and killed him about 12 hours later. ♪ ♪ heather: well, the coronavirus now killing more than 800 people in china. officially topping the number of people killed globally in the sars epidemic. christina coleman has the latest for us live today on the outbreak so, christina, what have we learned? >> reporter: well, as of right now that number, that death toll has risen.
10:24 am
744 people died worldwide from the sars outbreak back in 2002 and 2003. the coronavirus death toll has now passed that number with 811 fatalities. today china's finance ministry announced their government has allocated $10 billion as of cred to fight the virus and pay for medical treatments. more than 2600 new cases were reported in the past 24 hours. most of them in the wuhan district. some of the newly reported are in spain, malaysia, south korea and vietnam, but there is good news here. the new cases of coronavirus reported in the past 24 hours is down by about 20% compared to new cases reported in the previous 24-hour period. china's national health commission credits strict prevention and control efforts for that decrease. health experts say this could be a sign a that the spread of this virus is slowing down. >> we're in a four-day period

where the disease or the number of reported cases hasn't advanced. and that's, that's good news. it's very, very, very early to make any predictions about numbers in this outbreak. this is still a very excellence excellence -- very intense disease outbreak in wuhan. >> reporter: in the u.s., 27 passengers on a cruise ship that's been docked in new jersey over cone -- coronavirus concerns, one of the passengers tested positive for the flu, but last night new jersey's governor issued a statement says all four passengers were negative for the coronavirus. in hong kong thousands of passengers on a cruise ship that had been quarantined since wednesday were finally allowed to disembark after crew members all tested negative and a number of countries are evacuating their citizens from central china. today a plane landed in britain

10:32 am
>> we are two of the few new hampshire citizens who are fully committed to our candidate, and we're committed to michael bennett. >> he's been thinking about the biggest problems we face in our country for the past ten years. we need to get rid of the person in the white house right now. he's number one. >> reporter: bernie sanders won the new hampshire primaries in 2016, and it was not even close. he beat hillary clinton by 22%. he even beat her in urban areas she carried in the 2008 primary. pete buttigieg, another front-runner, has spent a significant amount of time campaigning in more rural areas. we were in carroll county a couple of days ago, the third least populace county in new hampshire, it went to romney in 2012, trump in 2016. the county chair told me buttigieg has spent more time in carroll county than any other candidate. buttigieg talks a lot about reaching out to what he refers to as future former republicans. senator sanders often talks
10:33 am
about the importance of voter turnout. remember, a lot of his supporters are young voters. they live a more urban, bigger city areas. the way that they are campaigning, the cities they are going to reflects that and those people they're trying to reach out to. heather? heather: all right, thank you very much. appreciate it. leland? leland: all right. a little bit more on new hampshire's political landscape and what to look for in the results of tuesday's are primary. we bring in university of new hampshire political science professor, author of the book "stormy weather: the new hampshire primary and presidential politic," professor dante the scala. appreciate it. boy, talk about stormy weather, you've got buttigieg and sanders tied relatively at 25%, another two or three candidates who are pulling 10% in the polls. this isn't a mano a mano race in any way, is it? >> no. it's shaping up that voters are out shopping. i think the fact that former vice president biden did so poorly in iowa really shook up
10:34 am
the field. if biden had done well in iowa, i think a lot of new hampshire democrats would have fallen in line and said, okay, joe's the guy. but now they're no longer convinced of that. bernie sanders has his supporters, his support is very solid. but the rest is really up for grabs. pete buttigieg has been the man of the past week, but will they be with him on tuesday? that's the big question. leland: it's an interesting question you say about sanders, and we always hear that about sanders supporters ors they are diehard, be it the bernie bros or the older segment of the population that's behind him. but there is this concept of a very high floor and a low ceiling for sanders. the fact that there is that window for him and it is a crowded primary, does that help him? >> it does as long as the race is not framed as a two-man race between him and buttigieg. as long as joe biden is each kind of holding on, as long as
10:35 am
elizabeth warren is holding on, as long as amy klobuchar is perhaps getting a bit of a bounce, all of that helps bernie. but the real question is if that all collapses, do they all go toward buttigieg and then he could possibly overtake sanders because he's just not growing that much. leland: it'd be unusual perhaps to have a collapse in just two days. there's one person who really defined new hampshire in the past 30 or so years x that was bill clinton. take a listen to him on primary night,1992. >> i think we know enough to say with some certainty that new hampshire tonight has made bill clinton the comeback kid. [cheers and applause] leland: does joe biden have the opportunity to make that speech on tuesday night or count him out? >> i don't think he's got a comeback in him at this point. he's really stuck with disappointing expectations left and right, and it's been a long,
10:36 am
long week for joe biden. there's no prospects of it getting better anytime soon -- [laughter] between now and tuesday. leland: yeah. a long week that was punctuated perhaps with an exclamation point by him saying off the top of that debate, oh, by the way, i'm going to lose here, i didn't do well in iowa, it's bad all around. it's interesting always when we talk about new hampshire because it is the first in the nation primary, and then you put up when it has and has not been cent about picking the nominee -- correct about picking the nominee. 2016, sanders won, did not go on to become the nominee. 2012, obama obviously won, and romney won, therefore, it was correct. 2008, clinton won the democratic primary. he was not the nominee. and then also you think about it in 2000, john mccain won the republican primary, didn't go on to be the nominee. is there a reason to think that even if sanders does win, as you
10:37 am
put forth as the possibility, that new hampshire is not going to be that predictive this year? >> it's possible. sometimes new hampshire more interested in sending a message to the rest of the country, hey, look at this candidate rather than trying to predict who the ultimate nominee is going to be. for me the question for sanders is how broad is his base. if he's winning based on college kids, progressives and people who live in his backyard on the vermont border, that's not a formula for great success in future primaries and caucuses. so my question is how broad can he draw out his base here in new hampshire. that will tell us more than whether he just wins or not by a little. leland: that'll be a lot for chris stirewalt and the voter analysis team to break down once we get some of the information coming out of new hampshire. i know broke it down as well. professor, you've got a busy
